About Mint Light

Mint Light is a cloud-based restaurant operating system that consolidates contactless QR ordering, an autonomous AI upselling assistant named Aura, real-time Kitchen Display System (KDS), recipe-based inventory tracking, and multi-country tax-compliant billing into a single platform. It is designed for modern restaurant operators who need to reduce manual processes, eliminate per-order commissions, and streamline order flow from table to kitchen. The system allows staff to upload existing paper or PDF menus via optical AI, which automatically extracts dish names, prices, descriptions, dietary tags, and allergens without manual data entry. Orders placed through branded QR codes route directly to kitchen screens with color-coded timers and to waiter terminals, where bills can be settled using UPI, cards, cash, or online gateways. Aura AI operates 24/7 within the digital menu, assisting diners in 190+ languages, managing dietary restrictions and budgets, recommending dishes, and building carts to increase average order value.
